| DIGESTION |
Here are some tips on improving digestion:
Tip #1: Cover the Basics
Basic 1: Chew, Chew, Chew
Take smaller bites.
Basic 2: Get Enough Water
Insufficient water intake is a primary cause of constipation. Constipation then causes an imbalance in bacteria, promotes inflammation of the intestinal lining, and can even lead to the absorption of larger molecules, a condition known as intestinal permeability.
Basic 3: Increase Your Dietary fibre
Good sources of dietary fibre include:
Dried fruit, such as dates, figs, and prunes
Tip #2: Practice Mindful Eating
A pilot study at Indiana State University found that mindfulness, including specific instructions to slowly savour the flavour of food and be aware of how much food is enough, helped to reduce eating binges from an average of four binges per week to one and a half.
Eat in the moment. Savour every bite, enjoying the flavours, textures, and smells of your meal.
Tip #3: Address Food Sensitivities and Allergies
Food sensitivities are behind many digestive disorders. For example, between 33% and 66% of IBS patients report having one or more food intolerances, resulting in bloating, gas, and pain. The most common culprits are milk and dairy (40-44%) and grains (40-60%).
Tip #4: Increase Good Gut Bacteria
Not all bacteria is bad. There are over 400 different kinds of bacteria and yeasts in the digestive system. Of these, the bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are considered good "probiotic" bacteria because they can help to maintain intestinal health. Acidophilus and Other Probiotics.
Tip #5: Supplement to Restore Digestive Health
